Discuss the importance of group differences in IQ for understanding intelligence

Discuss the importance of group differences in IQ for understanding intelligence.

Considering the article Can Research on the Genetics of Intelligence Be ‘Socially Neutral’? and the textbook chapters on intelligence, compare and discuss at least two group differences in IQ. Why are these differences important for understanding intelligence?

After you have posted your initial response, respond to two of your peers. Discuss some of the factors that were identified to influence intelligence testing (e.g., ethics or cultural differences) and provide a rationale as to why some of these factors may or may not be more influential than others.
